What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 21 September 2021 · Last inspected 23 June 2021

Staff are described as kind and respectful, with a relaxed, homely atmosphere and a positive culture; people are involved in care planning and the leadership team is praised for openness and responsiveness. The report says person-centred care is not yet fully embedded, and outcomes for independence are inconsistent.
